Resident Evil: Afterlife - It's Happening

Seems Sony has backpeddled a bit after the theatrical success of Extinction.

ComingSoon:
Paul W.S. Anderson will probably writing Resident Evil 4 after he's done with The Long Good Friday.

Interesting. I wonder what it'll be about since Milla said she felt she'd done all she could do with the character of Alice and wouldn't be returning for any sequels during the promotion of Extinction. Rumor has it it'll focus on Claire Redfield and the trip to Alaska. It may include parts of the story of the game Resident Evil 4 as well.

How can it follow parts of RE4 when the last two movies didn't even come close to what the games were about?

If you watch on the DVD there is a documentary about the first film's development. In it Anderson said he wanted to do a movie very similar to the first game using the same characters. Sony vetoed it and threatened to get a new director because they were worried it would hurt game sales if there was a movie version of the game.

To be fair, a movie version of the first game would have made the actual game's acting look amateurish and embarrassing by comparison.

"Wait! Don't open... that door!"
"I hope this isn't CHRIS' blood!"

LOL! The terrible voice acting was part of the original Resident Evil's charm, wasn't it?

'That was too close! You were almost a Jill sandwich!'
'It's a weapon. It's really powerful against living things!'
And the alltime classic: 'NOOOOOO! DON'T GO!'

he 1st one was half decent but it was downhill from there, number 2 was ruined by making Nemesis too human emotionally when it should of just been a death killing machine. Number 3 was just plain bad with a captial BAD...at least we saw Wesker though.

in a RE 4 I demand we see Claire/Chris story with Wekser/Barry in the plot and I want to see dam Hunters

I thought the second film was extremely enjoyable but the other two were just "good". The second one was like a live action video game even with a boss monster who you fleetingly meet once and then have a final fight with, two different heroines teaming up, and a great premise of the city being sealed off by the military as it gets taken over with a sense of geography and everything.
